The only reason why products that come from mall are very expensive is because they carry the brand name of a huge company or they are endorsed by popular celebrities. Sometimes, companies advertise too much of the products and pass on the costs to consumers. As an independent artisan, you do not need to ask for the help of prominent people or to advertise too much. So, there is really no reason for you to sell too high.

Also, people will not buy from you if they see that your handmade housewares and handmade tools are very expensive. On, the other hand, if you sell too low, consumers will suspect that your merchandise are made from low-quality materials. You will not be able to earn decent profits, as well. You might even get bankrupted if you do not sell at the right amount. So, it is really important for you to offer your handmade housewares and handmade tools at reasonable prices. You can search around the Internet if you do not have any idea on proper pricing. You can also observe the market.
